For people worrying about not having a partner, I wouldn't worry too much; if they have a dance lesson again (last year the lessons were a couple hours before the event) it's a great place to find a partner. Also, half the fun of a ball is finding cool people to dance with.

This sounds like a lot of fun, and I'd love to go, but I have two little problems...

Problem A; I am only fifteen. I'm not sure how many other people my age will be there, and honestly, I wouldn't feel comfortable dancing with anyone over the age of eighteen/nineteen. The downsides of being a younger, shy cosplayer, I suppose :P

Problem B; My friend who I'm attending the con with hates dances and will probably give me hell if I make her go to this, lol.

Like I said, I'd love to go, but I'll probably think it over for a little while and then decide (:

We will be having lessons again. Format, time, location, basically everything about the organizing of said lessons is still in the planning stage, but there will be lessons before the ball.

I just learned about this and I'm super excited! a friend and I are planning on doing fancy versions of Fem'Shanks and Mihawk on Thursday in honor of Valentine's Day so maybe we'll use those outfits and make an appearance at the ball? =D we'll see!! <3

I know I posted here before, but yeah, just making a tiny correction. It's not, "we might go", We will be going! If I can make a lieutenants badge and the little hair piece, I'll be timeskip Momo from Bleach.......well, a dressy interpretation. My friend said she'd be timeskip Orihime, also from Bleach and my other friend said she plans to go as Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. I have a feeling this is gonna be alot of fun! ^_^

As a question to people who have attended before, would it be considered odd to wear a formal cosplay all day and then go to the ball? Or would it be better to save the formal cosplay for another day and change into it when it's time for the ball on that day? One of the costumes I'm planning is similar to a ballgown and I'd like to wear it all day but I know a lot of people make special outfits just for the formal ball.
